I switched from Comcast to DTV 2 years ago and haven't regretted it since.

comcast is the way to go if you dont do fta stuff. dishnet you dont get bravo,speed,versus and comcast sports unless you pay... comcast is also a cleaner install

I like the comcast ondemand selection! The only thing I don't like is that while watch tv shows, the screen freezes!

Check the avialbility of uverse in your area. I know it is not offered in my area or I would go that route. But it is offered on the other side of town. ![[BS flag]](graemlins/bs_flag.gif)

I work for Comcast so my opinion is bi-est, but Comcast is better. On Demand is the shit too.
However, I also have Directv for the NFL ticket (gotta watch them Cowboys). If your a big NFL fan then get Directv. I get my Comcast service free thats why I have both.

Anything but Comcast. Their technical problems/cust. service department is horrible!
Horror stories aside, AT&T has been doing it for 140 years compared to Comcast doing it for 3-4 years..

^^^^^^^ ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) lol
I have had Comcast for about 10 years now (back when it was TCI, then Viacom, then AT&T then Comcast)
Have never had a problem and I have had it at 5 different addresses.
Wait...I did have a problem one time when a storm knocked down a branch and took out the cable line...that does count and it was fixed inside 24 hours.

I have Dish Network and it is ok. I have had comcast before and had no complaints either. I have no experience with Direct TV other than the damn flyers they keep sending me. I think you should also look at the HD DVR boxes that the companies offer. I know Dish Network is suppose to have one of the best ones offered. I can't live without my DVR now.

What channels do the Free to air dishes give you? I've always been interested in em but never had a clue how they work. My place has cable with the HOA's and it fucking rocks. I can flip through the channels without waiting for the stupid menu to pop up.

I say Comcast because its very cheap for the first 6 months & if you like it keep it if not change it!!! That way you get to make your own decision!! Because this thread has mixed opinions all the way across it!!

I had comcast for a year, nothing but problems. they had to come out multiple times and all the repair guys never knew what they were doing and were always late. They charged me $160 for my package. Im getting the same stuff +more with AT&T and it only costs me $99. I only had to have them out once but that was the fault of the apartment complex. The guy knew his shit about tech too
